"Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall is the new voice for TomTom navigation devices, according to Wired. The idea is to add "some spice to the ride, allowing drivers a fun and unforgettable journey," says TomTom. On the road, Cattrall's voice will give more than the standard instructions such as "Turn left." She will say lines such as "This is the city, darling. Anything goes" or "Don’t touch my Manolos!"
Other potential things I think she'll say:
"Continue straight into the center of my legs."
"Please use a car cover while driving with me. I've TomTom'd all over this city."
"Approaching destination. Pick up speed to arrive at same time. Faster. Faster."
"Caution: Don't grind my gears."
"Sarah Jessica Parker has a weird face. Also, take a left."
I'd rather have Bea Arthur read my directions, Golden Girls style. I just saw a sweet episode last week where Rose thinks she has AIDS because of a bad blood transfusion. It's a classic. Only the Golden Girls can make AIDS funny. I would have been all for a Golden Girls movie, except for that whole dead Estelle Getty thing.
Another terrible news item. Did you know MTV's Total Request Live is going off the air next month????
Or, in other words, Music Television will stop airing its lone Music Television programming... the same show that made the station relevant in the late 90s and launched the careers of Britney Spears, NSyncs, Backstreet Boys, Blink 182, Eminem and both minutes of fame for 98 Degrees.
I know they never really showed videos, but still, it's freakin TRL.
The replacement is that crappy "FNMTV" with Ashlee Simpson's husband, who wears eye makeup.
Pop culture will die a little bit next month.
